Renowned taunt maker has a message for Angel Reese

Renowned taunt maker has a message for Angel Reese

By making fun of Iowa star Caitlin Clark in the Women's National Championship game, LSU star forward Angel Reese made headlines throughout the sports world.

Before the Tigers defeated the Hawkeyes to win the program's first championship, Reese made the "You can't see me gesture" joke to Clark.

The insult was used first by Clark, who won the women's NCAA Tournament, and she had no problem with Reese using it against her.

The G-Unit rapper Tony Yayo created the taunt, which was made famous by WWE star John Cena. He spoke about it in an interview last week.

According to Yayo, "When a Black female does it, it's a problem, but when a White girl does it, it's not a problem."

Yayo continued, "I just don't want all this nonsense to overshadow the win. "The team includes more members. Kim Mulkey is a fantastic coach over there. Anyone who serves as a role model for Black women in this world is someone I certainly look up to." It's obvious that talk about Angel Reese's taunt will persist.
